As filed

Compared to the same sale last week, Slaughter cows and bulls steady. Steers and bulls under 550 lbs steady to 10.00 lower, over 550 lbs steady. Heifers under 550 lbs 4.00 to 12.00 lower, over 550 lbs mostly steady. Quality average to fancy with several fleshier new crop calves. Demand good.
